Chief Keef Arrested For Speeding At 110MPH In A 55
TMZ.com:
Chief Keef was arrested for the SECOND TIME IN 7 DAYS yesterday ... when cops in Illinois say the 17-year-old rapper was doing 110mph ... in a 55 zone.
Law enforcement says ... cops spotted Keef's 2011 BMW X6 M flying down Winnetka Road in Northfield, IL around 3:45 AM.
When cops pulled the car over ... Keef was in the driver's seat with 3 passengers -- big problem, since Keef only has a permit which allows him to have ONE passenger.
After Keef was taken into custody, the BMW was released to one of the passengers ... who left the scene with the vehicle.
Keef was cited for speeding and having too many people in the car. He's due back in court on June 17.
The arrest comes exactly ONE WEEK after he was busted in Georgia for smoking weed at an Atlanta-area hotel.

Lauryn Hill Sentenced To 3 Months In Jail
Bossip.com:
Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to spend 3 months in FEDERAL PRISON for tax evasion … even though she claims she paid off her nearly $1 million bill to Uncle Sam before sentencing.
A judge in Newark, New Jersey dished out the sentence moments ago … and told Hill that after she completes her stint behind bars, she’ll spend 3 more months on house arrest … followed by 9 months of supervised release.
Before the hearing, Hill’s attorney told the media the singer scraped together more than $970,000 to repay her debt to the government.
The 37-year-old former Fugee pled guilty last year to three counts of tax evasion for failing to file returns on $1.8 million she earned from 2005 to 2007. Lauryn’s attorney asked for mercy because of her charity work and 6 kids … but the judge wasn’t buying it.
During the hearing, the judge ordered Hill to report to prison by July 8. It’s unclear where Hill will serve her time.
Hill was present during the hearing, and delivered a statement to the judge in which she compared her situation to slavery.
“I was put into a system I didn’t know the nature of. … I’m a child of former slaves. I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed on me,” Hill said.
She continued, “I sold 50 million units … now I’m up here paying a tax debt. If that’s not likened to slavery, I don’t know what is.”

Rapper Xstrav Gets Arrested For Drinking Iced Tea In Parking Lot
InfoWars.com:
A recent YouTube video captured an overzealous security guard accusing a 24-year-old man of drinking alcohol in the parking lot of a liquor store, and then subsequently arresting him. The kicker, of course, was that the 24-year-old was only drinking Arizona brand Half and Half Iced Tea.
As rapper Xstrav (Xstravagant), AKA Christopher Beatty, and his friend Tony Brown waited for their friend in the parking lot of the Cumberland County ABC Liquor Store in Fayetteville, North Carolina, an alleged plainclothes officer walked up to them demanding to know what Beatty was drinking.
Naturally, Beatty was taken aback by the seemingly normal man approaching him and asking to inspect his drink. He held the can at arm’s length, allowing the man, who merely identified himself as “police” verbally, to read the label, but refused to allow the strange man to hold (or sip) the drink.
The man, professing to be a police officer, next asks Beatty to leave the property for trespassing, even though Beatty explained he was there in the parking lot waiting to make a future purchase.
The video clearly shows the supposed undercover officer did not immediately identify himself as a policeman before he began questioning Beatty, and only quickly flashes what may be a badge three seconds before he demands the man put his hands on the trunk of his own car.
Without reading him his rights or divulging the charge for which he was making the arrest, the security guard begins handcuffing Beatty in the parking lot, while another seemingly drunk man wanders around the parking lot violating the well-known law of public intoxication.
Mountain Dew Drops Lil Wayne
TheBigStory.com:
PepsiCo is bowing to public pressure for the second time in a week and cutting ties with Lil Wayne over the rapper's crude lyrical reference to civil rights martyr Emmett Till.
Lil Wayne, one of the biggest stars in pop music, had a deal to promote the company's Mountain Dew soda.
Earlier this week, PepsiCo also pulled an online ad for the neon-colored soda that was criticized for portraying racial stereotypes and making light of violence toward women. That ad was developed by rapper Tyler, the Creator.
On Friday, PepsiCo said in a statement that Wayne's "offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand." It declined to provide any further comment.
A publicist for Lil Wayne, Sarah Cunningham, said that the split was due to "creative differences" and that it was an amicable parting.
"That's about all I can tell you at this time," she said.
Wayne had sent the Till family a letter offering empathy and saying that he would not reference Till or the family in his music, particularly in an inappropriate manner.
But the Till family said the letter fell short of an apology.
"It's mindboggling to me that they partnered with him in the first place," said the Rev. Wheeler Parker Jr., a Till cousin and witness to his abduction. "Major corporations should scrutinize who they endorse, don't let greed or money determine who you sponsor."
Parker's written statement said Wayne's lyrics not only insulted Till's memory but degraded women as well.
Hot 97 Deejay Mister Cee Caught Trying To Pick Up Male Hooker (Again)
Bossip.com:
Popular Hot 97 deejay “Mister Cee” was busted trying to pick up a male hooker in Brooklyn, cop sources said Saturday.
But Cee, 46, whose real name is Calvin LeBrun, didn’t know that the gigolo he approached at Madison St. and Broadway in Bushwick just before midnight on Friday was really an undercover cop, the sources said.
The music man — who emerged into the hip-hop world as Big Daddy Kane’s deejay and later produced Notorious B.I.G.’s first album, “Ready to Die” — was charged with patronizing a sex worker. He was waiting to be arraigned on Saturday.
It’s not the first time the deejay has been cuffed for playing with professionals.
Cee pled guilty in 2011 to a charge of loitering for the purpose of engaging in prostitution after he was arrested for receiving oral from another man in a parked car.
